“All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.”
**************************

Illegal aliens did not present themselves to be subject to the jurisdiction thereof, so their children are not citizens.

“Illegal aliens did not present themselves to be subject to the jurisdiction thereof, so their children are not citizens.”

There were a number of statements made by US Senators who created Amendment XIV. Most support your view, but at least one would support the anchor baby position.

In common government practice, the anchor baby position is being used.

We have a leftist Supreme Court - they will hold that anchor babies are US citizens if the matter comes up again.

Amendment XIV needs to be amended.

Trump has promised to merely enforce the law, not change it.

Unless the first sentence of Amendment XIV amended, we as a nation will continue to have expensive anchor baby/parent problems by the millions - in 2031, 2046, 2061, etc.
